What book are you reading right now?

Teh Wozzinator — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 02:40:20 GMT

Right now, I just finished Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of the Baskervilles, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Today I started reading Peter and the Secret of Rundoon, by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. It's the third and final book in the Starcatchers(?) Trilogy. Books one and two are Peter and the Starcatchers and Peter and the Shadow Thieves respectively.

Word Connections

Dreamer — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 02:27:33 GMT

This is a word game that my sister and I play all the time. Basically, you start out with a word, and make the connection to another word from that. The connection can be in the form of a relation or sound, doesn't matter, so long as there's a connection. So if I said 'milk', this thread could go a few ways: Milk --> Cow -->farm --> city -->city slicker -->ipod --> computer... Milk --> silk --> china --> rice --> beans --> Mexico --> Sombraro --> ...

BIG writing question (at least for me)

M Dragon159 — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:54:00 GMT

I have a huge question that keeps nagging at me. You know, in books, how if someone's saying something and they get interrupted? Like: "No way I wi--" I'm getting confused on how to make it correct. Is it two dashes? One? Space before and after the dashes? Could someone explain it. Also, is this the same concept like in: The beuatiful wings--flashing off in every color possible--appeared within thin air, on the back of... Can anyone explain this stuff?

How did you find the site?

Teh Wozzinator — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 02:26:44 GMT

Many people on here have found this through YWS, but I was surprised to find how many members are new. So I'm curious, how did you find the site?

(By the way, is it okay if I sticky this, Mark? Actually, I am unable to... I guess you'll have to if it is to be stickied.)

What are you listening to right now?

GuardianAngel — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:58:53 GMT

This is a random game where you say what your listening to at the moment, be it music, your family, or the birds singing outside. All you have to do is write the name of the band and song.

Example:

Rate the avatar above you! (Recieved from YWS)

Firearris — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 02:32:24 GMT

I got this from YWS, one of the very popular things there. You just do what the title says, rate the avatar above you. So, if Woz posted after me, he would gave me a 1-10 rating on how much he likes my avatar, and if Mark posted after him, then Mark would rate Woz's avatar, and on and on. Get it? All you do is put "5/10" just replace the five with what you think it deserves.

It moves through, in, and around me. Turn to take a breath. Oh, the miracle of lungs, air, life! I go back to the water. My hands pull me through the water, my feet propel me forward. Water is smooth, cooling, soft. Water is my lover, partner. Air! Plunge underneath. Water is music, my ...

Thanks!

Art of Love Chapter 1

summer777 — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 01:01:50 GMT

I boarded the plane with a weight on my heart and a package in my hands. The Houston Museum of Art had just turned down my painting of the Eiffel Tower. They had said that it �lacked emotion� and �needed life�. I, however, could see nothing wrong with it. It looked perfectly, well, perfect in my eyes. I mean, sure it looked normal to everyone�s eyes, but it wasn�t that bad. But, everyone else had said that when I went to sell my art to them. �It looks boring and lifeless. I don�t even want ...

What made your day today?

Dreamer — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 22:43:52 GMT

Yar, Matt, I be stealing your usergroup idea and making it available to everybody. But to give proper credit and to show you the way this is supposed to be done, go to YWS and look up Matt's happy place. It might only have one 't', I'm not sure. Basically, you put the best thing or things that happened today that made it rock. Then, if someone is having a down day, they can come here and hopefully be cheered up. The things don't have to be big; they can be as small as getting the last pudding ...

The 3 word game

Saruukhai — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 22:21:02 GMT

I find randomness fun. While I was on another forum with a very large community, maybe in the millions there was a very long 3 word game going around and when I read it I was like "wow this is really random" some of the things are a bit R rated though. Theres no reason why we can't indugle in some randomness. That is of course if you don't want to, I understand completely if you think I'm weird, many do. Maybe I should get the ball rolling with some randomness... One day ...

I have to leave the site...

Teh Wozzinator — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:55:54 GMT

But just for a few days. XD Scared you, didn't I? Today I'm leaving, and I may have Net, but if I do, I won't be able to get on very much. I shouldn't be gone for much more than a week, and I should get on at least a few times in between then. Bye! Jamon (This is just what Mark wanted, now he can really pass me on posts. )

Basic POP stuff...

Teh Wozzinator — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 22:00:00 GMT

Anything that you don't know about the site, or that you noticed, but you don't know where to say it? Post it here.

Guess what, this will make 895 posts, which is really close to 900... which is only 100 away from 1000. How old is the site now? This will also make 82 topics, which evens this out to around 10 posts per subject, which is good!

Also, I like the new artwork, and I love the red at the top...

LadyLara — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:42:42 GMT

Hi peoples! im writing many many stories. My main one is called Sky City, which I dont think can get published because It has too many spoofs and not even the name of the story is original. But I do the story for fun. The 2006 part of it has an estimate of 400 pages....and the world blows up in it. Usually, Im EXTREMELEY shy in sharing my stories with other people and i hate geting negative feedback...

HarborVille Prologue

HarborVille �Pull �em up, �arry!� Granger shouted roughly. His long, gray beard was becoming soaked by the heavy rain that was pouring down into his fishing boat. He yanked on a lever and the mechanical arm slowly lifted out of the stormy sea. Harry, who was down on the deck, was struggling with the many ropes that were tied to the arm. All of the ropes, however, were connected to a net on the arm. The net was black, but he could still see the numerous fish squirming to break loose. ...
